   Yet when Dumbledore recovered from Morfin his true memories about the night   
   Voldemort confronted him, he tried to use those memories to free Morfin from   
   the charges that he had murdered the Riddle Family and thus free him from   
   Azkaban!  In other words,    
   Dumbledore expected the Morfin memory to prove to the MoM that Morfin was   
   innocent!  I'm assuming that the MoM must have had a way to verify that a   
   Pensieve memory showing is accurate.  Otherwise, Dumbledore wouldn't have   
   bothered!   
      
   By the same token, I figured that viewing Harry's memories of his   
   confrontation with Voldemort would convince people of the truth of his story!   
      
   Could the Aurors have verified Harry's story by going to the graveyard where   
   harry claimed to have seen Voldemort?
